LIFE BELOW WATER
Pollution

Garbage in the Ocean
-
Many of these animals think that the garbage is actually food, when they eat these things it makes them sick and they cannot get it back out.
In some places trash and waste is actually dumped right into the water sources. When this happens it makes the water gross and to where the animals cannot live there.
Ocean life cannot survive in water like this so we have to be more weary about how we throw thing away.
We need to start being more careful about what we use many of our things are not sustainable. This needs to change because we need to use more sustainable things. Straws are a good example of this because we can change to reusable straws rather than one use plastic ones.
Oil Spills
Oil spills are very detrimental to the sea life because so much of the sea life gets damaged from the oil and then their habitats get ruined as well.
Oil spills are a huge threat to the marine life, they cause oil to be in the ocean for years and years, many of the animals have to relocate and even after the spill gets cleaned up the environment is still messed up.
In 2010 there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This oil spill caused a lot of marine life to die and harm the ocean for many years.
Oil refineries also cause problems for marine life because they have to drill down into the ground and this makes it very hard for ocean life to survive like they need to.
Oil drilling is needed because many things do need fuel, but the areas that they have to use damage the water and is very harmful to the sea life.

Volunteer Projects
Keeping beaches cleaned up are a good way to help volunteer even if it's just you picking up around yourself and the people around you.Tiny actions can change a lot for the life below water.
Volunteers have helped save a lot of animals and a lot of the ocean, many will remember after then big oil spill in 2010 many people helped get ocean life and clean them and take help the rehabilitate.
If you volunteer with anything related to the ocean it will help you learn and be more aware of what you do everyday. After seeing a lot of cans and plastic that you picked up would make you want to start using more reusable materials.
Around the world there are many volunteer projects. A lot of them can be found on the volunteerworbd website. Many of these are free and help out the ocean to where anyone could do them .
There are many ways to get involved with volunteering to help the sea life. The ocean needs volunteers to help clean it up and to help the marine life.
